I need to cut the cord, cable is getting stupid expensive and service going downhill.



Need a good alternative.

I considered PS View and even subscribed for a while. Gonna ride out my dish contract and go back to PS View honestly. I'd say it's one of the most robust services. You can stream up to 5 devices at once on 1 account. Has DVR functions and live TV pause and rewind if you use a PS4. May do that as well with the PS3, but I havent tried it.

I want to switch as well, but spending that extra 20 seconds firing up the PS3 and switching through the settings before your show can come on...... Eh, too much hassle. Is there a better alternative?

I have Direct TV and it's not too bad. Their prices have definitely gone up over the years but service has been excellent. I dont even remember the last time the picture went out due to storms. When it did go out, I do remember that it was only for about 5 minutes and then came back fine.
